Scattered to numerous showers and lightning storms will develop toward mid to late afternoon and through this evening, as the sea breeze boundaries move inland and collide across east central Florida, west of I-95. Some of this activity may be able to shift back toward the coast and offshore through late afternoon into early this evening. Strong to isolated severe storms will be possible, with the main threats including frequent lightning strikes, strong to locally damaging wind gusts around 40 to 60 mph, coin-sized hail up to 1 inch in diameter, and locally heavy rainfall of 1 to 3 inches. .EXCESSIVE HEAT IMPACT... Hotter than normal temperatures are forecast today, with highs climbing into the low to mid 90s at the coast and mid to upper 90s across the interior, with peak heat indices between 102 to 107 across east central Florida. If spending extended periods of time outdoors, it is recommended that you take breaks in the shade or in an air conditioned building, and also remain well hydrated. .RIP CURRENT IMPACT... A moderate risk for dangerous rip currents exists at area beaches today. Remember to swim near a lifeguard and never swim alone. .MARINE THUNDERSTORM GUST IMPACT... Any storms that develop will have the potential to produce wind gusts in excess of 34 knots, initially over inland lakes this afternoon and with any storms that push offshore from late this afternoon into this evening. .FIRE WEATHER IMPACT... Sensitive fire weather conditions will continue today, as hotter temperatures and ongoing drought conditions persist over much of east central Florida. Any new or ongoing brush fires may spread rapidly behind the east and west coast sea breeze boundaries, which will push inland and collide across east central Florida, west of I-95 later this afternoon. Higher storm coverage is expected later this afternoon and evening, with an increase in lightning strikes and strong gusty outflow winds possible, which will lead to additional fire weather concerns. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY. Scattered afternoon showers and lightning storms will be possible into Friday, with overall coverage of this activity decreasing into the weekend. Shower and storm chances then increase again into early next week. Hot temperatures will continue from late week and into the weekend, with near record highs well into the 90s and peak heat indices of 100 to 107.
